    Find your local proper roadie shop, he might have a jig for you to sit on, or at least he’ll know what size you want, on a road bike the correct size is important as if incorrect you get aches and pains you never knew existed, you can tweak a little with hardware but not much.

    You want it doing with a tig welder, very neat and will be stronger than the metal itself.

    Ring some local fabricators up and find out, will take minutes to do and will probly only want a few drinks for doing it.

    Erm… The South African attack is hard enough to face, let alone in overcast conditions,

    we just didn’t have enough runs first innings.

    We should never batted when we won the toss, Thursday was overcast and humid and we have as a good a swing bowling attack as anybody………or so I thought

    How do you spend four and a half grand on an orange, and come to think of it why

    You can build a really nice bike for that sort of cash

    It would be Turner maybe Ventana….having owned both in the past they are in completely different league to the oranges I’ve had

    5’8 again but 50 here

    Going back to oversize carbon tubing verses thin tubing, it all depends on how well and were they are made and how well butted they are

    I do like traditional lookin bikes, all road bikes tend to look the same nowadays, you see a bike from a distance and think oooo I wonder what that is…….oh it’s a spesh, oh its a trek or oh it’s a ribble

    Hand jobs rock full stop…….

    Fastline in Preston did it, I visited a couple of places and rang a load, and he was the only one I felt assured with, I’ve seen some really bad jobs.

    It was £50′ which thought was very reasonable and he seems to know his stuff, half the other places I went too I wasn’t too sure.

    Don’t forget you’ll need loads of other kit and that could cost you half your budget again

    Kevlar beaded tyres, I mean the steel beaded are just the same and probly two thirds of the price, maybe a little heavier but seat better

    150mm on a handjob would be crap IMO, it would lost the quick snappy feel

    Go to your local bike shop and get measured up, and it’s only really the top tube and seat angle that will matter

    We need Carroll on instead of wellbeck, we can’t keep the ball in midfield, so we need to get it forward early and get somebody to keep it there so the midfield can push on.

    A few of us go down to london and take our dads every year and have a day out and usually end up in there

    I could spend all week in there

    I’ve been 3 times and still haven’t seen everything

    I was stood on the top floor admiring the mustang when an american bloke came to me bragging about it, I had to remind him that it was the British that came up with the idea and if it wasn’t for the rolls Royce merlin engine it would have been useless
